Trump’s resurgence, legislative session could keep Greg Abbott out of presidential race | gromerjeffers
“What he told the president is that until the session is over, he’s not going to get engaged in presidential politics,” Carney said. “He is 100% focused on the session, and he doesn’t want it to distract, one way or another, from what has to get accomplished.”Abbott is keeping his 2024 possibilities alive, as faint as they are. Carney concedes the calendar is working against the governor mounting a presidential campaign, though he didn’t rule it out.
The former president’s legal troubles, including last week’s controversial indictment in New York on charges related to a hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, have thrust him back in the national spotlight.Trump is leading his primary rivals in the polls, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is expected to join the Republican race for president.
Abbott’s legislative agenda includes significant property tax reduction and a bevy of parental rights proposals that include a school choice plan.
